Boar Hunt [Ask Us A Question]

  • Title: Boar Hunt, 1615-20
  • Artist: Peter Paul Rubens (1577 - 1640)
  • Oil on panel, 137 x 168 cm, Gemäldegalerie, Dresden
  • Description: In seventeenth-century Flemish painting 'dramatization' of the
    animal theme found expression in the revival of hunting scenes. (This special
    sub-category of animal painting emerged in the fifteenth century as an
    expression of late-medieval aristocratic art.) Rubens devoted himself to this
    subject after about 1616, initially with the intention of appealing to his
    aristocratic clientele. Some of his early hunting scenes were deliberately
    located in an aristocratic setting.

    Two phases can be distinguished in Rubens's hunting pictures. The work of the first
    period, running up to about 1620, is marked by a centripetal and diagonal
    scheme of composition, in which the many movement are clearly directed towards
    the high point of the dramatic action in the centre and in the 'depth' of the
    painting. In this manner the viewer's attention is drawn directly to the
    ultimate battle for life and death between man and beast. An example of these
    scenes is the Boar Hunt in Dresden.

    The hunting scenes Rubens painted after 1620 are in sharp contrast to the earlier
    scenes with vehement representations of violence. These later versions are
    composed in a frieze-like manner. The action is shown horizontally and
    parallel to the picture surface. This emphasises the actual progress of the
    hunt rather than its climax, the life and death struggle between man and
    beast, ending in the slaughter of the beast. Wild animals are replaced by
    defenceless hunted deer, often in a mythological context such as in Diana
    Returning from Hunt.
